It is my deeply held conviction that the very best social science research of the coming era will be exactly this kind of research—research that draws on the kinds of bold and interdisciplinary insights you can get when you salsa-dance. But be warned: you can’t just show up at a salsa dancing palace and expect to have as much fun as you should without having done at least a little training ahead of time. For all its improvisational nature, salsa dancing builds on some very specific steps (Luker 2008, 2)

Sociology has to be understood as a population science, primarily on account of the degree of variability evident in human social life, at the level of sociocultural entities, but also, and crucially, at the individual level – this latter variability being inadequately treated within the holistic paradigm of inquiry, for long prevalent in sociology but now increasingly called into question (Goldthorpe 2016, 17)
